CHELSEA captain John Terry blamed boss Jose Mourinho`s punishing training regime when he failed to score in bed with a blonde lover behind his fiancee`s back.
"He told me he thought he was going to pass out while we were lovemaking as he`d only had a couple of Jaffa cakes to eat all day, because Mourinho had been working them so hard," said Shalimar Wimble, 25, who had a two-month fling with the engaged football star.
She told how the England ace ran out of steam as he tried to make passionate love to her twice in one day at team-mate Wayne Bridge`s mansion, just doors away from the luxury home he shares with fiancee Toni Poole in Cobham, Surrey.
"He said the manager was a real taskmaster who liked to crack the whip in training," said Shalimar.
Terry and his lover sneaked into Wayne`s house while he was out - taking care not to be spotted by Toni. They stripped off and had sex in the lounge. But when Terry took Shalimar upstairs and tried to score again he ran into trouble.
Even so, the exhausted England star managed to find a sudden turn of speed - when he heard his pal`s Porsche arriving on the drive.
Terry ran downstairs naked to collect the couple`s clothes, while an angry Wayne and his girlfriend waited in the car.
"I felt embarrassed about using the house. But John laughed and said we had no choice as we couldn`t go over to his place.
"John told me Wayne was fine about us being there on condition we didn`t have sex in his bed.
"But Wayne didn`t exactly look thrilled when he saw our underwear scattered on his sofa downstairs.
"I felt terrible, but John laughed and told me not to be silly.
"John never mentioned his fiancee Toni to me - I guess that is why he took me to Wayne`s place."
The sex session in Bridge`s house was one of the seedier encounters in an affair that lasted two months.
The pair first met at London`s celebrity haunt, Chinawhite, in March, where Terry was having a pounds 10,000 drinking session with Wayne and team-mates Frank Lampard, Glen Johnson and Joe Cole. Shalimar, a secretary, was on the dance floor with her pals, dressed in jeans and a skimpy white top - and she soon caught his eye.
She was ushered to Terry`s table and he ordered her a bottle of vodka. They danced and Terry tried to coax her out of the club and take her to a hotel. Shalimar said: "I was very attracted to John. He is very sexy and has a great presence about him.
"We both had a lot to drink. I have never seen as much booze as he had on his table.
"But I didn`t leave with him - I didn`t want a one-night stand."
She didn`t see Terry again until she bumped into him at the same club three months later. Terry grabbed her hand and whispered: "Where have you been hiding?"
"John said that I shouldn`t have run away last time. Then he kissed me. He was very passionate.
"I was quite drunk, and John looked drunk too. I had tiny cream shorts on, as I`d just come back from holiday in Marbella, and he kept patting my bum.
"John made me feel special. He then led me to the dance floor and put his arms around me. He didn`t care who saw us. He said he wanted to take me somewhere nice, peel my clothes off, make love to me and admire my sun tan. I`ve never met someone so fascinated with a girl`s tan!"
Terry then invited Shalimar to join him at Chelsea`s Conrad Hotel. He left the club and instructed her to follow in a waiting car with his pals.
As they stopped at traffic lights, the rear door of Terry`s car opened and he beckoned her to join him. He had already undone his trousers on the back seat.
Shalimar gushed: "We were naughty and he asked me to perform a sex act on him."
The over-excited star pounced when they made it past the door of their suite, yelling "I want to get you out of your hot pants. I want to see your tan."
The pair had sex into the early hours. Shalimar said: "We made wild passionate love.
"John has an amazing body and strong shoulders.
"But he passed out the minute it was over. When he woke up he said he wanted to see me again and asked for my mobile number. He put me in a cab and gave the driver a wad of cash to take me home."
Besotted Terry then bombarded Shalimar with saucy text messages thanking her for the most "amazing sex ever" and saying he couldn`t wait to see her again. He begged her to drive up to Wayne Bridge`s house for their secret sex session.
Soon after that, Terry jetted off to join Chelsea`s tour of America - and the pair kept in constant touch while he was away.
In one text session, he boasted how he had bought her saucy lingerie which she had to model for him when he came back. But on his return the calls dried up, and when he eventually asked Shalimar out to Chinawhite, she found him kissing another girl
"I lost feeling for him that night," said Shalimar. "I felt he had used me. I left. He called a few more times but was messing me around. John might be Chelsea captain, and a big England star, but he has no respect for women. I feel sorry for his fiancee."
Last night, unaware the Sunday Mirror was exposing his cheating ways, Terry told another paper that he was now faithful to his fiancee.
He said: "I`ve misbehaved and slept with girls behind her back. She knows about it all now - I`ve told her everything - and we`re moving on.
"I`m not going to cheat on her ever again and I want to marry her more than anything."
